| Its "We're all Leeds aren't we"?.
Another song pinched off the football club fans...still it gives the brass section in the south stand another song to play!

Yeah, though we probably shouldn't mention it - afterall missing half a dozen of your first choice 17 shouldn't have any bearing on the result.
I'm sure if the Cowboys were missing Thurston, Granville, Feldt, Tamolou and Cooper and Leeds had won we'd have been given full credit and nobody would have cheapened our victory whatsoever.

| The moronic din from the Southstand sounded like 'O WE ARE WEEE' to me too. At least it was an accurate reflection of the gulf in class between the two teams I suppose. The sooner that stand is bulldozed and seats installed the better.

| As stated, it's "all Leeds aren't we" and is borrowed from the football; I agree it's a bit annoying, but most clubs in SL would kill for the kind of vocal support they get from the South Stand - brass band notwithstanding, which is just painful.

| Was there some new supporters of Rugby League/Leeds watching this game as the chant "All Leeds aren't we" has been around a while and its not like you wouldn't have heard it at the ground before or in the hundreds of matches Leeds have been on Sky?

It always comes across worse on the tv than it does in the ground.
I usually stand in the South Stand but toward the end of the stand at the Western Terrace end and it's nothing like as annoying even stood there as it is on tv because the TV gantry is literally right above where the "band" are.

True. Im down the other end, and it doesnt sound bad at all. But i cringe sometimes when i hear it back on the tv!

| "all Leeds aren't we"
Leeds United fans started singing it a year or 2 ago ( 3 years behind wednesday as usual  ) i think the wednesday band started playing it at headingley last year?

| As a neutral stood in the south stand I can confirm it was annoying as fook. I actually thought they were also singing 'we are sub-standard'. Turned out it was south standers but could equally apply.

| Quote Wigg'n="Wigg'n"Yorkshire mating call.'"
Can't be worse than one song *containing one word/name* Wigan ......
"Wiiiiiiii - gin - Wiiiiiiiiii - gin" *on repeat*. (& in a high pitched pre-op tone)
Dull, illiterate, devoid of humour & lacking any invention or thought, possibly the most profoundly boring fan base known to Rugby League.
On the other hand, some clubs have 5 or 6 [ifull[/i songs just about dear old Wiiiiiiiii - gin.
Oh, & you pronounce Monaco (a Club in Hindley/Wigan) Mon-'A'-Co .... NOT ... Mun-Arrr-Core or Mun-'O'- Core.
It's a principality.

Let's face it, they all would. The atmosphere at the 2 WCS games was nothing short of embarrassing.
[url=https://www.facebook.com/rlsuperleague/videos/vb.325962660751036/1260858393928120/?type=3&theaterWorld's best player seemed to like it[/url and I believe the word he used was "unreal". The NZ team performed a haka just for us last year before telling everyone the atmosphere at Headingley was the best they'd ever experienced.
But a few silly old men on the internet can't work out what the crowd's singing so maybe, just maybe it's finally time we banned any kind of chanting, musical instrument playing, cheering, laughing or jumping up and down at sporting events. Please also keep any talking to a whisper.

| World club challenge or not, the atmosphere at headingley is miles superior than that at Langtree and JJB or whatever its called combined. All leeds aren't we is annoying though. I'm an lufc fan and it irks me.

| It's amazing how fans of other clubs complain about this yet their fans own chants are hardly music to the ears ("oh Warry Warry, Warry Warry Warry Warry Warrington".....particularly rubbish). The only difference is you notice Leeds more because of the crowd size.

There does seem to be a disproportionately large contingent of grumpy old men amongst the RL fan base, from whom any overt signs of enjoying yourself at a game are met with a chorus of tutting and eye-rolling.
Personally, I enjoy it when a crowd is vocal - it adds to the atmosphere and is enjoyable to be part of - provided it stays on the right side of reasonably good taste; this is perhaps where the South Stand lets itself down - unless of course they have a live video feed to the official's changing room and can therefore say with certainty that "the referees a w@nker."

Everything was better pre-SL, including the atmosphere at Leeds games. True story.

Totally. There's a couple of songs I wish they'd drop. One about Brett Delaney and the "go get your father's gun..." which has been sung for decades but aside from that, the louder the better. The players love it, the opposition players love it and 99% of us in the stadium love it.

It sounds like Leeds fans are singing "oh Leeds are wee" (as in, urine!) accompanied by the out of tune trumpeters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54sT9_KZScU
To be fair to Leeds' fans - even thouh the trumpets are truly horrendous and out of tune 98% of the time - at least their fans give it a go.

| It's ''All Leeds aren't we''. There's even a programme on the Made in Leeds Freeview channel.

Awful that one, but that apart - great to see (hear) and if more fans at more clubs did it games would be a much better atmosphere.

| But they are planning on ruining the South Stand atmosphere by adding the seats and raising the roof which will hinder the noise coming from the terrace.
I know it's all about money for the suits but a bit of common sense should have come into play when rebuilding the South Stand.

Give it a rest, it's a fantastic proposal. Those who want to stand and chant still have more than enough space to do it.

Can you point out where I said there wouldn't be room to stand?
The roof being so much higher than it is now means it will not trap the sound as well which equates to a worse atmosphere due to worse acoustics.

I think what he's saying is that by shiftung the roof from right above where the atmosphere comes from in the SS, it will lose a lot of that contained atmosphere that you get with a close roof.

That's the way modern stands are built now. Not built with sight obscuring pillars and are supported differently by those beams you see on the top/back of the roofs, hence why roofs are higher nowadays.
To have the roof stay at the same height as now you'd probably need to design in the same way with pillars inside the stand and I doubt they'd get approval for a stand design like that nowadays.
